This life jacket tried to drown my grandsonI put the life jacket on my grandson while we went swimming and once he was in the water the flap would keep him face down in the water where he couldn’t pick his head back up.

This is Type II not Type IIIThis is at least the 2nd year where this was advertised as only a Type III. This is actually a Type II. I have the old blue and Yellow from last year (said it was a Type III online but all the tags and labels say Type II). I wrote Bass Pro back then telling them to correct the mistake on the website.
This year they changed the colors. Again the vest in the store has all the tags and labels that say Type II.
Type II is what will assist an unconscious swimmer to keep their head above water. These are the next best thing compared to the really bulky open water vests (Type I).
The handles come in handy especially when using it to teach the kids to swim and hold them while they learn to kick and paddle.

Great PurchaseOkay so the 8 month old hated it in the hot boat, but once we got to the swim area of the lake and she could lay on her back and kick her feet, she us having a great time. Being the Grandmother I felt like she was well protected. She kicked around in the water and was total safe. The flotation being in the front and the head rest kept her face up and there was no way she could go in face first. I was extremely pleased We had the next size up for our grandson and he also loved swimming between the adults and had no fear.

Would this be small enough for 7 month old?

What age and weight can this life jacket be used for. We have a 14lb 4month old, not sure if there is a minimum. We would like to take her on our boat but not sure what the law is and will this jacket be ok?

Asked by: Bill70

Thank you for your question!
From a technical standpoint, this life jacket is designed for children up to 30 pounds, so this should work for your little girl. However, if you're worried about legal requirements, it'll be best to talk to local law enforcement in your area, as they'll be able to tell you what regulations are for your bodies of water.
I hope this information helps!

Is this jacket type I, II, or III?

Asked by: Lorinda

Basspro specialist is wrong... this is a type II. The USCG tags and even the printed labels in the vest say it is a Type II.
It has the extra buoyancy to help turn an unconscious swimmer over to keep their head above water (part of the reason there is that extra float behind the head).
The description of this really needs to be changes online to match what the product really is. Told bass pro about this last year and it looks like the description of it still hasn't changed a year later.
